Abstract

A ten-year longitudinal study of 63 girls from divorced middle-class families examines patterns of adjustment and family relationships over time. Course of adjustment and outcomes are linked to age, the mother-daughter relationship, and household organization. Delayed effects are observed among young adult women forming their own relationships, influenced by issues of identification with their mothers.
